Britney Spears Pens Sweet Letter To Young Gay Fan Who Came Out

This is a sweet story that we just had to share. Britney Spears super-fan David LeCours got to go see his idol perform in Las Vegas and was able to present her with a letter telling her how she'd helped him as he struggled to come out as gay.

David posted a photo of their meet-and-greet on Instagram and writes:

I honestly can't believe I got to meet this wonderful and beautiful women again. She is the sweetest and nicest person alive. I got to give her my letter that I put so much effort into. The letter explained how she helped me get through a real tough period in my life these past couple of months, and how I wanted to end it all but she made me be strong. As I was leaving the building where meet and greet was held, Britney's body guard ran and stopped me and said Britney requested my address so she could respond because my letter meant so much to her. Thank you for everything Britney. I wouldn't be able to be so confident and open about my sexuality if your music and you didn't help me. I love you so much, thank you for not only being my inspiration but helping me get back up and be strong.

And guess what? Britney responded to his letter!

A week after seeing her in Vegas, David received this letter in the mail from Brit Brit!

Britney wrote:

“I was so happy to receive your letter. I was very happy to hear about how courageous you’ve been about being openly gay. I’ve always been told as long as you know in your heart that’s what matter most. I try to follow my heart and dreams every day of my life and I think that’s why I am where I am today. It means so much to me to have a fan like you who takes the time to sit and write me such a touching letter. Your letter was both touching and sincere. I wish you nothing but the best in the future and hope you keep smiling.

Shine bright always,

Britney Spears"

It's certainly easy to be cynical--we're often guilty of it ourselves, but Britney clearly made this young fan's day! (Or his week. Maybe his year.)

And we love that the David posted this himself rather than this being released by someone on Britney's team. Brit Brit's a sweet one!

Nothing against Britney, i've never been a fan. Women in show biz learn how to smile to lessen lines around their eyes. i remember Sonny telling Cher she did not smile with her eyes on their TV show (must've been around divorce time.) This is the worst pic i've ever seen of Britney; she's obviously fake-smiling. She MAY have been being sweet & kind, or this may have been PR. i lean toward the latter scenario

Why would a religious heretic even be reading Instinct Magazine, and make a hateful comment? One of two reasons, either they're a closet case and looking at the eye candy "sinning", or they're so zealous in their heresy they go out looking for places to spread it.

Either way, they're crazy as hell!

Rock on Queers, Britiney, and fans, haters are just kindling in hell that don't know that they're screwed, yet.

As a diehard fan of Britney , I feel sooo happy reading things like this. It makes me even more proud of being a big fan of hers as I've always have been since I was 10. She has also been an inspiration for me in most aspects. Britney , u have a lots of fans out there but I'm a big Puerto Rican fan of yours..! I couldn't make it to the concert in PR but I Promise one day I will see u live.!

Britney spears first cd came out right as I was dealing with my parents divorce and struggling with feeling like I was one of gods mistakes due to the fact I was born and raised mormon and trying to bottle up the fact that I was gay. Her music, her confidence, her ability to be hated on and talked about so publicly and criticized daily and still put on her game face and time after time reminding us what a courageous and inspiring woman she truly is. As she evolved as an artist I grew with her and as I watched her overcome hard times and struggles it gave me.the strength to over come my own. And it brings joy to my heart to see her now as a loving caring mother. I love u britney and have always been rooting for you

on point. i also saw her grow as an artist from 'hit me baby' to 'slave for you' days. and then came the dark days which made me cringe how the media esp the paparazzi treated her. it was heartbreaking to see her like that but my love and respect for her didn't dimish a bit. I'm so happy to see her doing so well. I will be always be a Brit Brit fan. Love you!
